Lindsay Lohan seen being 'affectionate and holding hands' with mystery man in Dubai 

Lindsay Lohan is getting in the spirit of the season - with a new mystery man.

The Mean Girls star, 30 was witnessed being 'affectionate and holding hands' with a suitor described as 'tall, dark and handsome' while enjoying the nightlife in the United Arab Emirates at the Iris lounge in Dubai, The New York Post reported.

The 30-year-old actress 'was very well-behaved,' albeit a bit flirty, in her interactions with her mystery man, a witness told the newspaper.

A reason to smile: Lindsay Lohan was seen in Dubai with a handsome mystery man, sparking speculation the beauty could have a new relationship as 2016 winds down. Here, she was seen at a London nightclub last month

The pop culture princess 'enjoyed a few drinks with him and a group of friends,' and 'they were also dancing together,' according to the witness.

A separate source told the paper that the man described might have been the Liz & Dick star's 'manager,' and that the sweet nothings might have been just that - nothing.

In any event, it's been an unusual year for LiLo in her love life, as she's had two notable suitors over the span of the calendar: her former fiance, Russian property businessman Egor Tarabasov; and Greek hunk Dennis Papageorgiou.

The Parent Trap star began the year in a relationship with Tarabasov, though it unraveled around August when the duo had a publicized fight in Mykonos, Greece, effectively signaling the end of their relationship and engagement.

Later that month, the international socialite was snapped with Papageorgiou, who insiders told the UK Sun, was the redheaded beauty's shoulder to cry on, and maybe more, in the wake of her disastrous relationship with Tarabasov, which was fraught with claims of abuse against the tycoon he later denied.

'Lindsay says they are very serious and she's been referring to him as the man who saved her from Egor,' the source said in September.

'It's a weird scenario to meet in but they're taking things seriously.

'Lindsay is hoping this is a start of a more healthy relationship' with Papageorgiou, who the Sun reported parted ways with model gal pal Noelle Koutra to get closer to Lohan.

Lohan, via Instagram, later denied any romance with Papageorgiou, claiming they were working together.
